Blitz3d editor fails
Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Blitz3d editor fails

| Yesterday it worked fine. Today all I get is an error message: "Unable to run Blitz Basic". I can run the compiler from the command line without any problems, so it seems to be just the editor. Any suggestions, anyone? |
| ||
| Have you modified any decls files recently? Perhaps put in more than one .lib declaration for the same dll? |
| ||
| Nope. But the plot thickens...Here's what I've done: Run scan disk on the drive (no problems found). Uninstalled Blitz. Completely deleted the Blitz program folder. Rebooted the computer. Reinstalled from my original Blitz install program. Tried running the newly installed program. Same error message. Banged head against brick wall... :( |
| ||
| I've updated to 1.85, and now get the error message 'toolbar bitmap failed to load', which is slightly more informative, but doesn't help me to solve the problem! The toolbar bitmap is definitely there, and looks ok. |

| If you have windows xp you could go back to a previous day when it worked and restore system. It sounds like you have an error in windows. I had a very simular problem with a demo of Dark Basic. Every time I installed it, all worked fine, the next day it refused to work. Turned out I had a virus in my system that attached itself to every exe file. And Dark Basic checked itself every time it started to look for any changes made by hackers. It noticed it had been changed by the virus and refused to work. Maybe Blitz does the same thing. Hopefully this isn't the case with your system. Viruses can be nasty. |

| I got an error similar to that. I needed to update the toobar image. Try this link: www.nitrologic.net/blitz/ide_toolbar8.bmp |
| ||
| The problem is apparently that somehow a toolbar which is not 8-bit depth got installed. So download that ide_toolbar8.bmp, put it in your cfg folder and rename it as ide_toolbar.bmp. |
| ||
| I've had this one too. I fixed it by installing v1.75 (which worked), then v1.77 (which worked), then v1.85 again !!! It didn't work the first time I tried, but the second time it did :/ I noticed that the installer for v1.85 seems to be made in a different program to previous installers, so perhaps that is the problem. It's not a massive issue, but I know Mark likes things to be perfect so it might be worth looking in to. :) If it helps, I've had the same problem using different Radeon cards (one old, one new). |
| ||
| uh oh. My blitz suddenly started complaining that it is 'unable to open linker.dll'. Anyone know what to do? |
| ||
| Fixed! Downloading that toolbar bitmap sorted the problem. Thanks very much. |
| ||
| how would I reinstall blitz? redo the update? [edit]Uh oh.... Looks like its visual blitz's fault. standard IDE works fine...[/edit] |
